I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

"Don't worry, it's just a physical check-up, nothing will happen."

Seeing Erica was a little flustered, Manjushage quickly comforted her: "If everything goes well, we can help her clean up the remaining dark magic in her body."

Let's just assume that Erica is afraid that Manjushage's blood shadow magic will amplify the influence of the dark magic in Red Heart's body, so she is so scared.

Lady Redheart's hands were full of wrinkles. She was old, and the blood circulation in her body was poor. There was also the accumulation of Grusel's magic, and it was not like she said that it would heal itself.

If she hadn't personally examined Red Heart's body, Manjushage would probably have really thought that she was just like Erica said, having suffered from many illnesses and was just weak.

In fact, there were many signs of rupture in Madam Redheart's blood vessels, and her organs and tissues were severely damaged. Even if most of them had been repaired by magic, there would still be sequelae.

In other words, her body was already broken, and even without Grusel's magic, she wouldn't live long.

This is the case for most people who have experienced major riots. Even if they survive the purgatory-like disaster, they will suffer from many illnesses, and the physical and psychological injuries will accompany them for the rest of their lives.

No wonder Erica has been acting so resistant. As good friends who spend time together every day, she knows Hongxin's physical condition best.

He had just recently lost two friends who were as close to him as family. If he heard the news that Hongxin was dying, how could he hold on?

"Madam Redheart, the dark magic in your body doesn't seem to be harmful. Is this a transformation of dangerous elements by healing magic?" After examining her body, Manjushage made a summary judgment.

"Well, I don't know what's happening inside my body, but I just feel like I've been feeling much better lately than before, and I'm not getting sick as easily." Mrs. Heart replied.

Her voice was low and hoarse, carrying the deep fatigue of an old person.

"Is that so?" A hint of doubt flashed across Erica's clear eyes, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was indeed concerned about Redheart's health.

Before Erica could react, Spades and Diamonds were dead.

Two people who were like close relatives to her left so quietly. If anything happened to anyone around them again, she would probably break down and cry hysterically.

Erica had made a mistake before because she couldn't accept the death of her parents. This time, she happened to be on high alert when Grusel was planning to attack Flowing Light City. She absolutely could not cause trouble for others.

"In fact, I don't have much time left. I am very satisfied to live to this age. But when I reach this age, I can't help but miss home."

Perhaps seeing the concerns of others, Hong Xin said slowly: "Until everything is settled and I return to my hometown, I will hold on for now. I will be fine."

Hearing this, Wu Xin couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat, and immediately stepped forward and hugged her tightly: "Don't push yourself too hard."

Soon after separating from Erica and the others, Doyle expressed his confusion: "I still don't understand why Grusel came to them."

In his opinion, Ilivia Grusel couldn't be so naive as to think that just a little girl, three old women and a magic doll could get rid of Mekaros.

Otherwise, how could she have been at large for twenty years after becoming a national felon? She should have been hanged for her first crime.

"Maybe he just happened to meet him and wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife." Manjusaka said.

"But don't you find it strange that Grusel's accomplices asked Erica and the others to rob the money in the carriage. This would easily lead to the loss of focus and make people ignore Mekalos." The more Doyle thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and there were more suspicious points than one.

"Indeed, it seems that Grusel and her accomplices' action that time was just a test, but this time they really want to kill her." Manjushage analyzed carefully.

At this time, Fan Yin suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice: "Jörmungandr is resurrected, the Holy Spirit of the bell tower is about to dissipate, and the thunderstorm accidentally breaks the seal and releases the vengeful spirit. I always feel that these things are too coincidental... Is it possible that Grusel specially picked such a time?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that everyone was staring at her intently. She swallowed nervously and asked subconsciously, "What's wrong?"

Wu Chang said bluntly: "I just think that you are quite smart sometimes."

Fan Yin curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "Why don't I feel that you are praising me at all?"

"Indeed, this statement is only valid if Fan Yin is an idiot."

Doyle laughed and made unpleasant noises, which made Fan Yin very angry. She kicked Doyle hard and then ran away like a flash.

Doyle, who was almost knocked down by the kick, stood up and immediately started chasing after him, without any airs of a rich young man at all.

"It's a pity that those two people can cause trouble anywhere." Luo Shiqi said as he watched their backs gradually disappear into the distance.

Manjushage looked at him with disdain: You don't seem to have the right to say that since you play around with Doyle all day long, right?

"I'll go and watch those two people. Make sure nothing unexpected happens." Wuchang sighed and followed silently as if he was used to this kind of scene.

Although he was not very familiar with Doyle, he was quite familiar with Fan Yin's personality. He had heard a lot about these two guys fighting together in the Great Wilderness before, and they were prone to getting into trouble.

After all, it was near his home before, and Doyle was the young master of the lord of Tasso City. As long as he didn't make any big noise, no one would blame him.

But this time they were in Liuguang City, and the whole city was on alert because of Grusel's appearance, so the two of them could no longer fight as recklessly as before.

With Luo Shiqi accompanying her, Manjushage doesn't have to worry about her own safety.

Besides, Luo Shiqi is, after all, the strongest magician in the kingdom. Given his position, even if he cannot stay here, at least he can lend a helping hand to those who need help.

Most people have certain psychological expectations for this battle, more or less.

The destruction of the streets and casualties are only the most ideal outcome. Judging from Grussell's past behavior, in the worst case scenario, the Gospel District will most likely be destroyed along with Carlos and others.

However, even if the hope is slim, there are always people willing to give it a try.

Just as Lilith said, the situation in the royal capital was bad enough to force a large number of people to flee. How much better could other places be?

A few cities with good public security, such as Tasso, have also been in great trouble due to the influx of a large number of residents from other places not long ago, and are currently unable to accept more people.

Apart from Liuguang City, most people actually have nowhere to go.

In the past, according to Mei Carlos's personality, she would definitely say that since there was no hope anyway, it would be better to stay away from the people and commit suicide in a deserted place.

After all, she has lived alone for twenty years with the name of the foreign sparrow. Although people will not hate her because of her background, they are unwilling to have too much involvement with her.

All along, Mei Carlos has handled everything by himself.

Fortunately, she later gained many loyal subordinates like Rujing.

Not long ago, Carlos chose to forgive Erica and give her a chance to atone for her sins. He must have seen his own shadow in this girl.

Just as I thought of this, I heard a familiar voice in my ears: "Ms. Manjusaka, Mr. Luo Shiqi, this way."

Erica quietly hid in the corner and greeted the two of them, as if she was about to do something wrong.

"Why are you talking in a place like this?"

"Because it's a very important matter, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact if others know about it."

In response to Manjushage's questioning, Erica's answer was quite vague.

This puzzled Luo Shiqi who was standing by: "Did you forget to say something just now?"

"I guess so..." As soon as she finished speaking, Erica's eyes caught a mother and daughter who were preparing to seek refuge nearby.

The next moment, she looked at Manjushage with an extremely firm gaze, and her tone became much more serious: "Actually, this matter cannot be told to others."
